Welcome to the Steam Deal Thread V4! You can find the V1 thread (Nov 2010-July 2011) here, V2 thread (July 2011 - Feb 2012) here, and V3 thread (Feb-July 2012) here. Read post #2 of this thread for Steam FAQs and more.

This is a Wiki post. Please read this
We appreciate you helping keep this thread up to date. The sales change virtually every day so no one person has the time to update them all. If you notice a game is no longer on sale, feel free to delete its line from the sale list. Of course, if you see a game is on sale, add it to the list. Make sure your changes match the thread's format! For example, every game that's on sale is part of an unordered list. When adding a game to the list, copy an existing line and update the link, title, and prices. That way, the format stays correct. Do not list percentages off! We list the original price and the sale price here. If you have any suggestions for major changes to the post/thread, PM me (EastX) about them.
for instructions on updating the thread.

Preorder Deals - Updated 8/9
Group Buys - Updated 8/14

Several multiplayer Steam games are available in 2-packs or 4-packs. These packs offer a discount over buying multiple copies of a game separately. We also maintain group buy trade threads for several games, so please use those threads if you're interested in setting up a group buy.

Free Stuff - Updated 4/3

There are several free games and mods on Steam. These are a few choice ones; you can find a full list here. Note that free games are not permanently attached to your Steam account like actual purchases would be. You'll need to manually download a game again from the website if you uninstall it.

Steam around CAG

If you are interested in joining the Steam CAG Community or participating in a trade or group buy with fellow Cheap Ass Gamers, please do so in the dedicated threads and not in the deal discussion thread. In the dedicated threads you will find CAGers with the same specialized interest who will be much quicker (and happier) to respond than in the Deals thread.

Steam Retail Key List

What is a CD key and where can I find it?

https://support.steampowered.com/kb_article.php?ref=7480-WUSF-3601

The CD Key is a serial number with a combination of 13, 18, or 25 letters and numbers - it can be found on a sticker inside your game's case or printed on the game's quick reference card.
The CD Key acts as your proof of purchase for the game - Steam Support may ask for it if you need to establish your ownership of an account. It is recommended that you keep your CD Key in a safe place to ensure the security of your account.

Made my final transaction of the sale now. By my estimate I spent around $240 out of pocket + $110 off a rebate card from an SSD I bought (free money!). Will have to tally up everything I ended up with a bit later, it's messy because I did a lot of trading and had amassed quite a collection of TF2 goods in preparation for the sale.
 
[quote name='zillionandnine']Screw it, I'm getting either SR3 or The Walking Dead, even if it puts me a little over budget. Now, just to decide which one.[/QUOTE]

I'd go for SR3. If you really enjoy The Walking Dead, it's still only 2/5 done and you'll have to wait for the final 3 episodes which should be out just in time for it to get a 50% or more discount in the winter sale.
 
[quote name='The End']I just checked Steam for the for the first time this morning and I see that they're still offering the Saints Row 3 collection for $13.29. Obviously, this wasn't a price mistake. They would have fixed it long ago if it were. They actually lowered the price.

Man, I'd feel really burned right now if I had bought the whole pack a few days ago for $25.[/QUOTE]

Not necessarily. I don't think anyone is at Valve in the wee hours. There's a reason they start everything at 10AM PST.

I guess if they don't correct it within the next hour then maybe they just figured it went this long so might as well let it go the next couple of hours but I still think it was a mistake.

SR3 is freaking great. I am loving it. I have about 16 hours in the game at this point.
I liked the walking dead demo -and want the game. I'm just going to wait until the game is completed before purchasing it (or at least until the halloween sale).

This. ^

Plus the Discount on SR 3 is crazy right now.
 
[quote name='BigSpoonyBard']Ok, for final clarification on the BGCQ group, here you go. The group was started as a way to keep giveaways and whatnot to the regular contributors of the Steam thread. I originally thought that would be about 30 people, but we've since passed twice that. Mostly legitimately, I think.
[/QUOTE]

Agree in forming a steam thread centric group. I hope the steamgift I set up can target better to the helpful people and friends (dare I say, Steam sales comrade?) in this thread. I would appreciate an invite (if deemed worthy, of course :) )

Yeah. That's kind of what I'm thinking.
 
The only thing I regret missing is Arcania. I was hoping it would come back around but I didn't really expect it to. It was that and Divinity II DKS but I purposefully passed on that in the hopes of a better Amazon deal.

How about Hard Reset: Extended editon? - only $3.75

I am contemplating the following for final purchases of the sale:
Saint's Row 2
Nation Red
Pixeljunk Eden
Garhasp: The Monster Slayer
Time Gentleman, Please/Been there dan that double pack.
and maybe: Sideway NY

Anyone have any thoughts on these?
 
[quote name='VanillaCena']No preference really. I'm willing to give anything a fair chance.[/QUOTE]

Without knowing what you have here are a few cheap recommendations:

Ben There Dan That/ Time Gentleman, Please
Eschalon books 1 and 2
Shatter
Noitu Love 2
Offspring Fling
VVVVVV
Capsized
Either of the Ys games
Broken Sword Triple Pack
 
Though it's been said earlier--I also enjoyed these four versions of Steam Sale threads at *least* as much as the sale itself. Met a lot of great folks who I hope turn into great friends.

Thanks guys for lots of laughs and a great time!

 
The Last Remnant on Steam seemed like it never got a good price drop or sale discount. It also came up for a community vote and lost, and never reappeared as a daily or flash, so that's a really good price for one of the few JRPGs on Steam.
 
Argh!

Fine I'll get SR3! Even though I already have it for Xbox. The game and all addons for 13 bucks?

It would cost me like 50 bucks to get just the addons for my Xbox version.

Crazy deal.

New total spent on this sale is 143.62.
 
My limit on each of these sales is usually $100 though I don't really keep close track of it. I think I hit around there and picked up about 20 games, mostly older and indie.

Every summer and winter sale I'm tempted by publisher packs, but then I'm always in the mentality of "this, this, and that sequel/game are coming out this year and will be included in the next sale pack so I'll hold off to get it" and then I keep waiting. It keeps my wallet relatively unharmed. Like most people I have a humongous backlog on Steam and on consoles which are my main systems.
 
[quote name='g6grim']Is Max Payne 2 gone from the Steam Store? Anyway, good thing I grabbed it on this sale.[/QUOTE]

[quote name='VanillaCena']Nope [/QUOTE]

Well, probably since I'm in Canada it just shows an error page with the words "This item is currently unavailable in your region". Can't find it or the Max Payne Bundle in the search either.
 
I'm glad I decided to drop in. I was just about to spend my last bit of wallet on Stacking, but then I saw that SR3 deal. Easy decision, Stacking can wait until Winter.
 
[quote name='g6grim']Well, probably since I'm in Canada it just shows an error page with the words "This item is currently unavailable in your region". Can't find it or the Max Payne Bundle in the search either.[/QUOTE]

It's also unavailable in Brazil. It used to be restricted, then a couple of years ago it became available, which is when I got it.

Huh, I can see it just fine from Canada. Do you use a VPN?
 
If I don't enjoy GTA, with all of the driving around to get from mission to mission, and the sloppy combat -- am I going to hate SR3?

It's so cheap for everything, it seriously has me tempted for the whole pack.
 
[quote name='Motoki']re: the BGCQ group
The idea was that it would be for regulars. By regulars I don't mean you have to post 100x a day like I do but at least a comment here and there every once in a while would be nice. We should be able to recognize your handle. If we don't and you are a lurker please don't ask. I don't enjoy being a hardass and saying no to people, in fact I really dislike it.

It also would be nice if you have done giveaways before and/or plan to in the future. You don't have to have to have given away hundreds of dollars worth of games or anything but at least 1 or 2 low cost ones would be nice.

That group even with moderation is rapidly approaching 100. I'm really struggling to think if there are genuinely 100 handles I see posting here on a semi-regular basis. I feel like I don't think so but admittedly the sale does bring a lot more people out and posting.

The idea was to have a group of people who really were CAGs and participating here. As far as the giveaways go, if the group starts getting into the triple digits it will be like every other Steamgifts giveaway and the chances of ever winning anything will be ridiculously low.

If keeping a private moderated group doesn't work for keeping it just the regulars the other thing we could do is basically what the Penny Arcade group does and out and out state that if you aren't someone we recognize from the forums and win we will request a re-roll. I would really rather not get to that point though. At first I thought they were total hardasses for doing that but now I totally get it.

I hope I haven't pissed anyone off or made anyone feel too excluded. If so I apologize. I just really don't want the new group to get ridiculous like the CAG one has.
[/QUOTE]

After reading this I understand that I'm too "young" for this group. Hopefully I can make it someday.

Is there a way for the other group (CAG) to change so only members in here can get access? That way we have 2 groups, one for regulars (more active) and another for semiactive.

On another topic, anyone played Jagged Alliance and can recommend it to me? Played the demo and I kinda liked it.

I never played any GTAs for any length of time (always got bored). I only made it about halfway through GTA IV. I am truly loving SR3. The combat is WAY better than GTA4 . There is driving in this, but with the franchise pack you could always just use your VTOL or jetcycle to get around when you don't want to drive. Not to mention the usual helicopters and gunships (later on).

CheapyD or one of the other admins would have to change it. Anyway I think most of the damage has been done now unless someone wants to manually go through and purge a huge mess of people.

In theory letting anyone already in invite anyone else seemed like a good idea but in practice it obviously got abused.
 
I spent way less this sale than past sales, mainly because I got most of what I wanted via trades :)

Here's my haul:

Crusader Kings II: Sword of Islam ($$)
Blades of Time - Limited Edition ($$)
Batman Arkham City: Harley Quinn's Revenge ($$)
Shoot Many Robots 4-pack ($$)
Fallout 3 GOTY ($$)
Pint Sized Paradox Package ($$ - Amazon)
x2 Borderlands GOTY (T)
x2 Mount & Blade: Warband - Napoleonic Wars (T)
Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition (T)
Dead Rising 2: Off the Record (T)
Wargame: European Escalation (T)
Batman: Arkham City (T)
Krater (T)
Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines (T)
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion® Game of the Year Edition Deluxe (T)
F.E.A.R. Collection (T)
Blade Kitten (T)
Payday (T)

All in all, I spent $29.60 on Steam and 7.49 at Amazon (for Steam games).

I've been lurking around CAG for awhile (posting occasionally) and this has been a great thread to take part in during the sale. I've put up a couple new giveaways for the CAG group here for those that are interested:

I can't tell you much about SR3 v. GTA, but SR2 was worlds better than any GTA game I ever played. I'll always be fond of Vice City's soundtrack, but just like with III and IV, I eventually reached a story mission in VC that I couldn't finish due to wonky controls or difficulty. I played SR2 through to completion and was never stuck so I'm looking forward to jumping into SR3, probably in the next few months as I clear a few more items out of the backlog.

i'd highly reccomend SR3. I'm not a big fan of GTA either. SR3 is going to give you some pretty sweet rides that you won't mind driving from place to place. Have it on my ps3 and could not pass it up on steam with all the DLC content!! must buy!!

I still would love for Rockstar to do a Vice City 2.
 
I wanted to thank EarthboundX5 and all the other CAGs that took the time to post giveaways on steamgifts. This was a great sale and an awesome thread to read along the way.

My final haul:
The witcher $2.50
KOTOR : $2.50
Morrowind: $5.00

Nuclear Dawn: won thanks to EarthboundX5
Victoria 2: won thanks to NocturnalRisk (steamgift name)

Thanks
 
I've heard good things about SR2 as well. The PC port is regarded as one of the worst in porting history but I've read that if you have a beefy PC and install a certain mod it becomes playable and even enjoyable. Note that it's $3.74 for the next hour if you want to take the risk. http://store.steampowered.com/app/9480/?snr=1_7_7_151_150_2

As for my haul, I spent less than I anticipated and I'm pretty happy with it!

SRTT 12.49
Terraria 2.49
SRTT DLC 4.99
Trine 2 3.74
KF DLC 0.49
FEAR Pack 9.99
Payday 3.75
Limbo 2.49
JC2 3.74
Bastion 3.74
Arma II 17.99
Bioshock 2 4.99

Total $70.89
 
So long Steam Summer Sale! You didn't take too much of an advantage of my wallet, only $60 or so.

Now it's time to prepare myself for your evil twin, The Steam Winter Sale.
 
Hmm to jump on Fallout NV or wait for cheaper for winter sale. I absolutely loved Fallout 3 got every single achievement for it when I had my xbox. Is Fallout NV the same?

After seeing Dark Knight Rises last night makes me wish I would of bought the Batman franchise pack :( lol
 
[quote name='kiwimonster']Hmm to jump on Fallout NV or wait for cheaper for winter sale. I absolutely loved Fallout 3 got every single achievement for it when I had my xbox. Is Fallout NV the same?[/QUOTE]

Yes, now that it's patched and all the DLC is out it's a very good buy.

If you loved Fallout 3 you'll love New Vegas
 
well, just made my final purchases... jade empire and wings of prey + DLC. my haul:

wings of prey + DLC - $8.73
jade empire - $ 7.49
the last remnant (GMG)- $3.00
binding of isaac DLC - $0.74
need for speed: hot pursuit - $4.99
monkey island SE bundle - $3.74
trine 2 - $3.74


gifts:
coconut queen (thanks motoki!)
terraria


gifted:
bard's tale - $2.49
coconut queen - $2.49
noitu love 2 - $2.49


total: $39.90
per game: $3.33
 
Fallout NV was okay. I gave up on it because it was riddled with glitches and bugs. I got tired of not being able to complete some missions. The storyline was semi-interesting. Maybe it just isn't my type of game. BTW, I played it on the Xbox and not on the PC. Maybe PC version is better?
 
[quote name='Motoki']
I'm not sure what's sadder, the fact that it took me 1200+ giveaways to win something or the fact that I am genuinely non-ironically excited that I won Farm Frenzy Pizza Party..[/QUOTE]

There is something about that title that titillates, isn't there?

[quote name='Akira146']
-All the games that had nasty DRM (like borderlands GOTY and Batman) but also Burnout Paradise[/QUOTE]

If you want to avoid the Borderlands DRM, just buy the base game and skip Zombie Island and Moxxi DLC. I have no idea why in the world they tried to go that route with the DLC, but thankfully they came to their senses and dropped SecuROM on the final two pieces. I'm hopeful they drop it from all.

You know, I had a hard time getting into GTA after the first game but SR3 is just so easy to like. There are very few rules and it doesn't take itself seriously at all. It's just a sandbox of fun.
 
I found CAG just over a year ago thanks to the first iteration of this thread. I'd advise any of the guys who have enjoyed this sale to keep the thread in your CAG subscriptions, it's become my first port of call for advice on deals and suchlike.

Most of the time I'm not even after the best possible deal. It's just nice be able to ask for a second opinion on something - CAG recommendations are mostly excellent. I would never have thought of trying the Ys games, or even a gem like Costune Quest, without this thread.

And I would never have found out how many Americans had never heard of Marmite.

To the new guys, welcome to the club. To the holidayers, see you next year!
 
[quote name='monkeysez']Wings of prey is a great game. I got much enjoyment out of it.[/QUOTE]

I'm glad to hear that because I bought Wings Of Prey + DLC last night as well.
